Abstract
We investigated the perpendicular magnetic anisotropy and the Hall resistivity of CoSiB/Pd multilayers. The CoSiB/Pd multilayers consisted of CoSiB (7-Å thickness) and Pd (Pd thickness t Pd = 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, and 20 Å), and a CoSiB/Pd bilayer was stacked five times. The coercivity shows oscillating values between tPd = 12 Å and t Pd = 20 Å. The value of the saturation magnetization increased between t Pd = 10 Å and t Pd = 12 Å and then decreased after t Pd = 12 Å. The perpendicular magnetic anisotropy constant depended on the thickness of Pd-layer and the values repeatedly increased and decreased. All CoSiB/Pd multilayers exhibited a positive Hall effect, and the Hall resistivity was not proportional to the magnetic moment.
